Excited for this, just got my press pass approved. Are these clubs all relatively close together downtown? It looks like they are all within about a 4 or 5 block radius of the university... how is public transportation?

Re: C2SV Music + Technology

All the venues are walkable from one another. Another option is taking a peticab. There's also lightrail which runs north on 1st street, and south on 2nd.

If anyone is looking for grub in between shows I'd recommend La Victoria's off 3rd and San Carlos. Make sure to grab some orange sauce. Also San Pedro Square Market, located off St John and San Pedro, has a variety of food choices.

↑No fatso jetson??? Man if they were playing earlier I would see them but I am trying to make it back at a decent time to see what is left of Indian summer (wolfy and speedy J) in SF.

I think Iggy Pop isnt going be that crowded so hopefully I can weave into the front .I havent seen Iggy Pop and the Stooges in six years and I like the new album.Plus last I checked Passanger was in their set list so I am ready to have a good time.Also I am predetermine to join in for onstage rush

Yeah, that 10pm slot has the most conflicts for me. Sleepy Sun, Dirty Pillows, Fatso Jetson, The New Trust... I haven't heard anything from Fatso Jetson, i'll youtube some things now. Any recommendations?

Re: C2SV Music + Technology

Definitely undersold, but it was actually kind of refreshing for us. The conference on saturday was pretty cool, hearing stories from williamson, mcafee & biafra was entertaining. Really enjoyed the club shows, Lemonheads, OFF!, Deafheaven & The Stooges really stood out for us. Evan Dando & Keith Morris were staying in our hotel & we ran into them multiple times, really cool guys. I thought how they had the park laid out was pretty decent, it was easy to get to & everything was within 4 or 5 blocks. Poster was overrated, I thought it sucked to be honest. Iggy looked like tan mom up close.
